But yesterday in Germany, not that much traffic, and i was still in 5th gear(6 manual e90 M3) when the REV(not speed) limiter kicked in at >8100/8200rpm @ plusminus 280kmh speedometer. I didn't have the chance to look carefully because of the traffic ahead, but I wanted to put it into 6th to go beyond 300kmh(187mph). But wtf, do I have a speedlimiter on my M3 or not.

Question: What is the speedometer max speed for a limited EU M3 E90 6 manual?

272/273 km/h according to the digital readout speedometer, about real 258 km/h.

Best regards, south

I am pretty sure that the M3 is capable of over 165mph (true speed) and the reason for this is EVO tested the E90 against the C63 and on the high speed bowl it achieved a topspeed of 164.5mph against the C63's 158mph.

Try driving at these speeds on public roads and you deserve to be locked up.

I don't own one so I can't personally attest to this but I could swear I read somewhere that there was no actual rev limiter on the car. I know that there is a speed limiter in the states but shouldn't that be excluded in Germany?
